LYNCH LAW Al fhEDEiSiNh, ND'
FREDERICK, Nd, Nov. 23.-JOhn
II. Bigus, the cOlOred man who com
mitted brutal assault on Mrs.
Yeakle on Friday night last, was
taken from the jail this morning by
a mob of 100 men, nearly all of
whom we're masked, and hanged to
a tree at jefferson Heights, on the
Jefferson road, not a quarter of a
mile from the Jail.
For some hours tonight suspi.
ciOus looking crowd Of men could
be seen on the streets at various
places. At 1915 o'clock the crowd
gathered at the jail and made en-
phatic demand on Sheriff Derr for
the keys of the building. The de-
mand was refused. Tbereupon the
leader gave order to break down
the door, which was done, and an
entrance effected to the corridor,
when the lock on the door OF the
cell of Bigus was quickly struck
of. Search was made for the pris-
oner, and as soon as he was found
a rope was put around lis neck
and he was carried down to the
basement and ont Of the jail to the
garden in the rear OF the building.
Bigus cried ont that he was in
nOcent, but he was ordered to come
on and with the rope tied around
his neck was led to the tree in front
Of the residence Of Mr.. George II.
Rider, on the abOve-namec height,
and asked to confess. He replied
/ that he would do so. When they
arrived at the tree he asked that
the rope he loosened to allow him
to pray. This w. done, ana
Bigus, again protesting his inno-
cence, said that Joe Hall, the man
who was first arrested, was the
guilty man, and that he stood by
aud saw him do il. One OF the men
standing by him exclaimed, "fOu
are liar, you black -,
and You have got TO die
The rope was then thrown over a
limb and the negro was quickly
suspended into the air. Three
shots were fred INTO has body and
the crowd dispersed, apparently
well satisfied with their work. Be
fore Bigus was pulled mp his hands
became united and lie fought fear
fully until he was again tied.
The men in the crowd were from
various parts of the county, az well
as from this city. An effort was
made by the Jail authorities to give
a general alarm by ringing the jan
bell. but they were at once checked
BIZ a number of men with revoly
ers.
At 1870 o'clock the body of Blgus
was still hanging from the tree.
Blgus was positively identified
by Mrs. Yeakle as her assailanl
when he was taken to her bedside
on Monday. The men who aided
| in lynching him we're determined
TO accomplish what they had TN
dertaken, and would have brOoked
no resistance. They claimed thai
the protection Of their mothers
wives and sisters was a sufficient
justification of their act.
